import export product attributes for magento 2

Do you know how to import attributes in Magento 2? It’s a complex process that covers not only product attributes but also attribute groups and attribute sets. In the following article, you will learn how to import and export product attributes for Magento 2 in the most efficient way. We discuss how the attributes behave and which values from an import table Magento 2 understands. Why is this topic important?

Well, it would be much easier if you could just import products, moving all the corresponding data in a single CSV. However, Magento doesn’t even support product positions in a category within a product CSV. Transferring products to Magento 2 is impossible without product attributes. They dictate which values the products have and which options and variations exist. That’s why having the ability to import product attributes is a must.

Since Magento 2 doesn’t let you import product attributes by default, we use the Improved Import & Export extension to manage all the processes. Below, you will find how the module works when it comes to the Magento 2 product attribute import. Note that it also supports the Magento 2 import of custom attributes. Below, we provide a table with product attributes and their descriptions to help you understand what’s going on in a CSV with attributes. Also, you will find a step-by-step guide to the import of attributes in Magento 2.
